How is the sun on fire if there is no oxygen in space?

Space is actually an oxygen rich environment. It's alittle known secret kept to keep the common man from leaving earth. It actually supplies us with our oxygen as well.

This. Have you not gotten your Free Thinking certificate in your uni yet? They teach you everything you need to know to prosper in science that was kept from you.

Sun isn't in fire. On the sun is working fusion. Decomposition heavier elements to lighter elements. It doesn't need oxygen, it's not fire!

For fucks sake man. It is so obvious that you just saw minutephysics and got the terms mixed up. If you actually knew about physics you wouldn't make that mistake.

And no, don't said you just mixed up heavier and ligher because you even said decomposition. That makes no sense in the context of what is happening in the core of a star.

It quite obviously is.

Hot gas glows the same no matter if the source of heat is combustion or fusion.

>> No.7748533

>>7748520
both are going on, fusion and decomposition of heavier elements into lighter ones

Our sun is made of lava, lava can make things be on fire even with out oxygen. Just don't let it collide with a sun made of ice.

It is plasma, not fire

Thats fission anyway

This is the correct answer to the given question.

its cause the sun is made of oxygen and jesus lives in the middle and his love energy makes it become fire

>> No.7748972

It's not actually on fire, it just looks like it because it's superheated gas.

Blah blah blah look at me I know shit
